Member Center:
Newly released video shows how close several people came to death on Interstate 75 in Northern Kentucky Tuesday night.
Instead, everyone at the scene of the crashes walked away with minor injuries, or none at all.
The trouble started as falling temperatures on the wet highway began to turn the water to ice, and cars and trucks started sliding. Among those involved: Preston Chisoll. An officer was assisting him with his damaged car on Northbound 75 near 275 when another car slammed into the officer's cruiser.
The officer was away from the car, and the striking driver, Ashley Walker wasn't seriously hurt, but the impact spun the officer's car completely around, so it ends up facing oncoming traffic.
Another officer started yelling for Walker to get out of the way, and they hustled both civilians over a concrete barrier just in time to escape a semi hauling double trailers which hit Chisoll's car, pushing it into the police cruiser and Walker's car.
The crash spun the cruiser around again, so the last thing you see on the video is the truck sliding to a stop in the distance.
